Jodie Foster biography and movies
Alicia C. Foster, better known as Jodie Foster, was born November 19, 1962. Jodie Foster started her career at the age of two in an ad campaign for Coppertone. For four years, she made commercials and finally gave her debut as an actress in the TV series "Mayberry R.F.D." (1968), on which her brother, Buddy Foster, was a regular. In 1975, Jodie was offered the role of the prostitute Iris in the movie Taxi Driver (1976), after Melanie Griffith turned it down. This role, for which she received an Academy Award nomination in the 'Best Supporting Actress' category, marked a breakthrough in her career. In 1980, she graduated as the best of her class from the French College of Los Angeles and began to study English Literature at Yale University, from where she graduated in 1985. One tragic moment in her life was March 30th, 1981 when John Hinckley attempted to assassinate the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Hinkley was obsessed with Jodie and the movie Taxi Driver (1976), in which Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro, tried to shoot presidential candidate, Palantine. Despite the fact that Jodie never took acting lessons, she received two Oscars before she was thirty years of age. She received her first award for her part as Sarah Tobias in The Accused (1988) and the second one for her performance as Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Since then she has become one of Hollywood's top stars, appearing in such hits as Contact (1997), Panic Room (2002), Flightplan (2005) and Inside Man (2006).
